ODonnell is a real mench - and a truth teller who calls a lie a lie
He dispises Romney/Ryan and likes Obama/Biden
[ obvious if you watch his show ]

This clip demonstrates his even handed wisdom -
most of it applauds the third party candidates running and
clearly states that voting for them is NOT wasting your voteIF YOU DO NOT LIVE IN A SWING STATE
such as non-swing states TX, CA, NY etc

BUT if you live in a swing state such as OH, FL, CO, VA, NH, WI, MI, PA -
he clearly asks you to consider what the Nader voters did in 2000 and what resulted

The new system must start with voters taking a stand...there is absolutely no other way. The system must be changed from the ground up and the only way to do it is for people to start paying a attention and stop voting to keep someone else out of office...instead of voting for someone who will actually do something.

No, you misunderstood....When i said people need to stop voting, i said they need to stop voting "to keep people out of office, instead of voting for someone who will actually make a difference."

So in your case...you're voting for obama to keep republicans out of office...even though obama is a disaster. The lesser of two evils argument is what is destroying this country. Everyone should vote.

Pres Obama is BETTER than Romney, He is the best candidate for Pres who can actually win.

And I support the dem agenda.

So yeah I feel very strongly that Romney/repubs MUST be kept out, because THEY are the 1% puppets who proudly push conservative plutocrat policies at the center of all our problems.

I also know that dems can be pulled back from the right, made to serve the 99% and reclaim the progressive principles that will correct all our problems.

That is what working within the system for reform means. Electing real progressives (not Obama!) like Grayson, Sherrod, Warren, Sanders, James and others! Also protesting all pols to force progressive change that benefits the 99%.

And of course work to create the new system from the ground up, horizontally, with real direct democracy.

In America we have laws that prevent 3rd party candidates fair access to office. As a result they have not, and will not win until those laws are changed! I may vote for Stein (that's my business) 'cause NYS is solid against Repub. But we only have 2 choices for Pres. Sorry. I can't pretend.
